Zephyr also replied, mouthing, “You’re asking for a beating!”
Zennie giggled happily and chomped down on the cranberry cookies, dropping the crumbs everywhere.
Cordelia had gone to the front to water the plants, so Zephyr approached his sister with a scowl.
“Clean up after yourself!”
Zennie jumped due to the sudden voice. She gobbled whatever she had in her mouth down. Even though she was reluctant, she obediently took the broom from her brother and ultimately cleaned up the place, caving into his authority.
“Bro, you’re doing great now, huh?” She teased him while she worked. “The greatest husband alive, ain’t it?”
Zephyr just glared at her.
Zennie grinned and packed the remaining cookies into a bag after she was done cleaning.
“Who are you giving them to?” Zephyr asked out of the blue.
Zennie was startled, quietly tightening her hand and holding the bag.
‘Damn, I was still seen through.’ She wondered how her brother got a pair of bright X-ray vision eyes. She could never hide anything from him.
“I…”
Zennie wracked her mind for a lie, but Zephyr interrupted her directly. “You’re definitely not eating them yourself!”
She froze and finally admitted with a grimace, coming clean. “I’m giving some to Phil.”
Phil Nelson? Why was it him again?
